Actually, when I removed the float on the label, it *did* recognize top margin in FF, so it seems to me it does matter whether there is text floated to the left of the fieldset. Now, whether it should matter is a different story. I don't think it should. I don't have time to test on other browsers to see where exactly this bug occurs. (Could you post a page with a top margin on the nested fieldset so it's easier to test please?) But I think you can change your markup and avoid the whole problem. You shouldn't have a label element sitting outside of a fieldset -- it can't label the fieldset. That's what the legend element is for. So, just get rid of that label entirely and make its text the legend of the nested fieldset instead of the "select one" text that is there now. Zoe -- Zoe M.
